By KIERAN BURNS (26/07/2007)

Pros: Stunning picture quality on Hi-Def
Cons: Poor speakers / bit too much reflection

1. An excellent piece of furniture. It really does look good in the living room

2. The quality of Hi Definition is just mind blowing. You may think that 37" and lower screen sizes show 1080i off. They don't. As they only show 768 lines - not the full 1080 you miss out on the full clarity on offer. Sky HD is shown off to its' best on this TV.

3. Spend time getting the settings correct. Out of the box it is 'good' but a look in the owners thread on avforums will get you the settings to show off this screens true potential

4. I have heard from several sources (reliable) that the Standard definition quality is poor - this is a TV for the HD crowd

5. Sound quality is the weak point on this TV, but as I have a 5.1 surround sound set up, I'm not fussed - however it is a shame that such a great picture is let down by poor (wooly) sound.

I'd recommend anyone to buy this TV - watching Hi-Def movies is a real eye-opener!
